  1. Re:USB flash drives cost more than DVDs on Creating a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Bootable Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    or that XP was a service pack to Win2000 (both are NT 5.x)

  2. Re:whoa ill buy it on Who Killed the Netbook? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like my Dell C400 - except I'm running Photoshop 6, an 80GB HDD, and a 1.4GHz Pentium 3. Runs fantastic.

  3. Re:No install media, no deal on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    Not true in my experience. Having taken my second-hand MBP to the Apple store before, they didn't have any issues with me having replaced the HDD (from the original 5400RPM 160 (or was it 120?)GB drive to a 7200RPM 320GB WD), nor any other comments about stuff I'd done to the hardware, and they were happy to answer my questions as to where I could get parts for it (idiot before me broke some of the screw attachments on the upper case assembly, and the trackpad button no longer works).

  4. Re:How can he do that? on Linus Renames 2.6.40 Kernel To Linux 3.0, Announces Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    Why yes he does.

  5. Re:I miss serial ports on laptops. on Computer De-Evolution: Awesome Features We've Lost · · Score: 1

    Serial ports are why I keep a P3 laptop around and running.

  6. Re:on/off switches on Computer De-Evolution: Awesome Features We've Lost · · Score: 1

    When you find one, let me know. I'm interested in adding one to my work computer.

  7. Re:Still no cure for time_t... on Fedora 16 Will Number UIDs From 1000 · · Score: 1

    time_t is a signed int

  8. Re:Still no cure for time_t... on Fedora 16 Will Number UIDs From 1000 · · Score: 4, Informative

    time_t is fixed for 64-bit systems. And for the 32-bit systems, well, we still have until 2038 to fix that problem.

  9. Re:Gnome 3 Shell on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Wayland doesn't support that? Remember Ubuntu is ditching X11, and that Wayland is not feature complete (from what I've heard).

  10. Re:Case insensitive file names please! on Linus Torvalds Considering End To Linux 2.6 Series · · Score: 1

    I thought SCO said the code IBM stole was in kernel 2.8?

  11. Re:lol on Linus Torvalds Considering End To Linux 2.6 Series · · Score: 1

    It's out of RC and is the current now.

  12. Re:So when is 2.8 due? on Linux 2.6.39 Released · · Score: 1

    SCO v IBM eliminated 2.8, when SCO said that IBM's stolen code was contributed to 2.8 - I think we'll have 3.0 instead.

  13. Re:Something's missing on Red Hat Pushes Out Enterprise Linux 6.1 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd recommend giving Scientific Linux a shot - their version of EL6 came out not too far behind RH.

  14. Re:Don't think so on Internet Could Mean End of "Snow Days" · · Score: 1

    Also, power lines.

  15. Re:WebGL was always a bad idea on WebGL Poses New Security Problems · · Score: 1

    But you'd lose a lot of platforms too - many phones, PS3/Wii, Linux, Mac, UNIX, etc, using Silverlight.

  16. Re:Mac is vulnerable too on Poisoned Google Image Searches Becoming a Problem · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to say that's a bad thing if the link is dead now. Since I'm on a Windows box atm, I'm not going to check (don't like taking chances).

  17. Re:Mac is vulnerable too on Poisoned Google Image Searches Becoming a Problem · · Score: 1

    Not sure if this is what they ended up with, but see the blog post linked in this post that goes to it. Warning - Windows boxes are also very vulnerable to the same link.

  18. Re:Pre-beta? on Another Windows 8 Pre-Beta Surfaces · · Score: 1

    I guess it should be called I development version. I don't think it's quite alpha yet.

  19. Re:Windows XP limited user on German Company To Install Linux On 10,000 PCs · · Score: 1

    I've seen it - trojan managed to gain access to an admin account (while the user was limited). Not sure how it pulled it off though.

  20. Re:Adoption... on German Company To Install Linux On 10,000 PCs · · Score: 1

    Not that I have used. Lexmark printers have been terrible (or at least for what I've used). I've also have not bought an inkjet printer for several years - I have an old HP Officejet and a small Xerox laser printer that both work wonderfully under any OS.

  21. Re:Uh, unless you're a programmer... on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    Actually it would seem to be about the same as Red Hat - XP SP2 was fully supported for 6 years. XP SP3, released in 2008, by 2014 this will have been, once again, six years.

  22. Re:Uh, unless you're a programmer... on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    So no different then MS - support going back two versions.

  23. Re:High version numbers on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    That would be because there was no Slackware 6.

  24. Re:Live CD with Nvidia drivers on GNOME 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I'll be giving it a shot in a VM. Normally I install stuff like that on my old laptop (1,7Ghz Celeron M, ATi Xpress 200M), but I haven't been a big enough fan of GNOME to install the hole thing. Also, I agree with the KDE4 releases being better then people give them credit for.
